Subject: Re: Affordability
You're correct about that especially if tariffs are deemed a.firm if tax.

The one way that government surely has the way to increase affordability is to lower taxes.

ProGlibs aren't about lowering taxes. They want to raise taxes.

The difference is that ProGlibs want to raise taxes on income and wealth, which directly disincentives productivity.

A tariff is akin to a use tax or VAT which is like a consumption tax.
